After the unspeakable horror that unfolded yesterday, we're now beginning to hear stories of incredible bravery by regular citizens who risked their lives to help others out. And here's one with a Minnesota connection.

Well, kind of. It seems that Minnesota Twins' broadcaster and Hall of Fame pitcher Bert Blyleven's son was out in Vegas at that country festival when shots rang out. Now, while Bert's son, Todd Blyleven, actually lives down in Texas, his dad is still a proud Minnesota resident.

And, instead of merely getting himself and the rest of the people with him to safety, as most of us would do, Bert's son ran back IN to the concert site in the middle of the chaos to help rescue more people and bring them to safety too.
